Inside Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong’s contrasting Christmases as presenter celebrates his first as a father… while his former wife introduces her baby nephew (and takes a swipe at ‘loser’ exes!)
As a bystander to the tumultuous lives of Ant McPartlin and his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong, I can’t help but feel deeply moved by their struggles. They have been through the wringer this year, with heartbreak, separation, and custody battles over their beloved pet Labrador.
Their story is a poignant reminder of the complexities that life can bring, even for those who seem to have it all on the surface. The glitz and glamour of fame often obscure the human emotions that lie beneath, and the challenges they face are no different than those experienced by countless couples going through similar trials.
I’ve always admired Lisa’s resilience and strength, both in her career as a makeup artist and in her personal life. She has faced adversity head-on and continues to rise above it with grace and determination. It’s inspiring to see someone who has been through so much still find the courage to thrive.
In the midst of all this turmoil, they’ve managed to keep their focus on the things that truly matter – their love for their dog and their desire to move forward with their lives. I have no doubt that they will both continue to shine in their respective fields, and I wish them nothing but happiness and peace in the coming years.
On a lighter note, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of Lisa and Ant sharing custody of the Labrador, who seems to be the real star of the show! Only time will tell how this saga unfolds, but I have faith that these two remarkable individuals will find their way to a brighter future. Cheers to the people who love us, the losers who lost us, and the lucky b**tards who get to meet us – indeed, life is full of surprises!
For Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong, this year’s Christmas feels particularly distinct among those they’ve spent apart, sharing a striking resemblance in the reasons behind it.
After splitting up in 2016, ending a 12-year marriage, the former couple kept their bond alive through their cherished Labrador named Hurley. He became the connecting link, spending time at both of their homes following the divorce.

Their divorce in 2016 concluded a 12-year marriage, but their shared love for their Labrador, Hurley, continued as he spent time with each of them at their respective homes, acting as a significant point of contact between them.
Over the holiday season, Ant, who is now 49 years old, experienced his first Christmas as a father following the arrival of his son Wilder with his second wife Anne-Marie in May. Meanwhile, they both kept a low profile on social media during this period.
After wrapping up my whirlwind Aussie adventure as host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, I’ve retreated to the comforts of home sweet London for the day.
In addition, the Ant character has teamed up with their longtime broadcasting companion, Declan Donnelly, for the digital series titled “Taste Mates.” Throughout this program, they share and experiment with various holiday-themed dishes while rotating a group of famous friends as participants.
On the 13th of December, his most recent public outing together with Anne-Marie and their 7-month-old child named Hurley occurred as they walked on Wimbledon Common.
Although he has been the host of I’m A Celebrity since its debut in 2002, rumors suggested that he faced difficulties this year as being away for the show separated him from his family.
A source confided to OK! Magazine: “Ant is deeply moved by being separated from Anne-Marie and Wilder. This is the longest time he’s been apart from them, and it promises to be extremely challenging.
In simpler terms, they noted that Anne-Marie and Ant plan to keep in touch frequently via FaceTime, but he has concerns about the time difference. Since when he wakes up, Anne Marie would have already put their child, Wilder, to bed, it becomes challenging for them to coordinate.
‘Ensuring Anne Marie has a robust network of support at home, Ant is confident that Wilder will be in good hands with his mother. However, it’s likely that both of them will be greatly missed.’
At the same time, Lisa, her former spouse, was welcoming a new family member into her life, as she proudly presented her newborn nephew to her online followers, being a professional makeup artist herself.
She shared a set of photos featuring the newborn in an adorable elephant-themed outfit, while expressing her congratulations to the parents. She also mentioned that the child was born on December 26th (Boxing Day).
In her post caption, she expressed: “Meet little Bowers! A hearty congratulations to @morgan.brookex and @bowerz17. He’s simply adorable!
‘Jude John-Noel born 26/12/24 5lb 5oz. Great Aunty Cise can’t wait to meet you baby boy.’
It appears that, despite sharing custody of their pet dog Hurley with Ant, rumors suggest that Lisa desires exclusive ownership over him, an arrangement which he seems unwilling to accept.
However, it’s said that she’s determined to continue the battle for full custody of her beloved chocolate Labrador, a frequent face in her social media posts affectionately known as “Mama’s little man”.
On Sunday, Lisa seemed to subtly express some feelings about her ex-husband through a mysterious message she shared on Instagram with her followers.
I’ve had a rather peculiar journey through life, meeting people from all walks of life and experiencing a wide range of emotions. I’ve been fortunate enough to have friends who love me unconditionally, and I am grateful for their presence in my life. There have also been those who, for whatever reasons, have walked away, leaving me feeling lost. Yet, I cannot help but feel a strange sense of gratitude towards them as well – they taught me resilience and showed me that I am capable of overcoming adversity. And then there are the lucky few who have had the pleasure of crossing paths with me. While I may not always be an easy person to get along with, those who have taken the time to truly get to know me understand my quirks and appreciate my eccentricities. To each their own, but for those who have stuck by me, cheers!
Afterward, she shared a motivational saying that alluded to the challenges she encountered throughout the year.
‘You spent 2024 in survival mode. 2025 is your time to rise, rebuild, and thrive,’ it read.
